Acqua Alta in Venezia

Ah well. Poor Venice...what would Christmastime be without acqua alta? It would be better, that's what. Here's a bookstore doing its very best. Here's a link to a good slide show; it's so pretty that I feel guilty for saying so. I skipped & hopped across empty café tables from one side of the square to the other. One Venice November. Not sure why they were still out--maybe for that very reason. [photograph by lexihaze, via we heart it]

I've been dreaming of Italy lately... Never been to Venezia... My so beloved country - that of my great grandmother.

Oh you will love it. I was so lucky to be there a long time ago & I never got over it. A lot more Venetians still lived there...it's good to go in the winter or autumn...
